I have a friend who is always asking us if her son has ADHD. He is very aggressive, doesn't sit still, shouts, has tantrums over minor things and hurts his younger siblings, also seems to ignore the word "no".
He's in year 2 and has zero attention span. But all she does is ask us. I've said look it up online or go to the GP but she just rather ask others. If people want an answer, just go through the professional route, actually make steps not just go on and on like a broken record.
I dont know what to say anymore.

who is “us”?

do you have any experience in this field?

how often do you see her for this to be causing you such irritation?

us is our friendship group, no none of us have experience, I see her every morning at school drop off.
We are asked almost weekly and I just want her to go to people who will actually give her an answer, not us who have no idea if its neurodiverse or not.

This is peculiar

Could she be illiterate?

Could you suggest she asks the Teacher if their SENCO could assess her DS? That way if she does have some sort of barrier to reading up on things herself, she just needs to talk to the Teacher.
